Music Promotion on Spotify

When it comes to playlisting campaigns, especially for genres or styles that are unconventional or cross boundaries, our approach begins with identifying and testing several audiences to find the most responsive listeners. At OurGig.com, we understand that every artist’s sound is unique, and connecting that sound with the right audience is essential for success.

For genres that don’t fit neatly into a single category, or for content that blends multiple influences, we prioritize audience testing. By analyzing listener behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns, we can zero in on the groups most likely to resonate with the music. This testing phase allows us to identify not only the obvious target audiences but also hidden niches that might be overlooked in a broader strategy.

Once the initial testing is complete, we take a two-pronged approach. First, we leverage our established relationships with curators who have a proven track record in similar or complementary genres. Second, we actively seek out and connect with new curators who align with the specific characteristics of the music. By combining these two strategies, we create a dynamic campaign that increases the likelihood of securing placements, generating interest beyond the initial target, and maximizing overall reach.

This careful process ensures that we don’t just pitch your music broadly but rather deliver it to listeners and curators who will truly value and support it.

3 Step Campaign Process

OurGig.com uses a refined three-step campaign process to ensure every playlisting campaign delivers maximum impact. Here’s how we pitch playlists, refine based on results, and re-pitch to achieve the best possible outcomes:

Step 1: Crafting the Initial Pitch
The foundation of every campaign is a well-researched and tailored pitch. Our team carefully selects playlists and curators that align with the artist’s genre, style, and target audience. We highlight what makes the music unique, focusing on its appeal to the curator’s established listener base. This first wave of pitches is designed to capture interest and open doors for future collaboration.

Step 2: Analyzing Feedback and Adjusting the Strategy
Once the initial pitches are sent, we closely monitor responses from curators. If certain playlists show strong interest or deliver promising results, we double down on those opportunities. For pitches that don’t gain traction, we assess the feedback, refine the messaging, and explore alternative playlists that align better with the campaign’s goals. This dynamic adjustment ensures we’re always working toward optimal placement.

Step 3: Re-Pitching with Precision
After analyzing the first round of responses and refining the strategy, we launch a second wave of pitches. This round incorporates all insights gained from the initial feedback, ensuring that the revised approach resonates more effectively with curators. By staying agile and responsive, we maximize the chances of securing high-quality placements and expanding the music’s reach to its intended audience.

Throughout this process, we maintain close collaboration with our clients, sharing progress and results at every stage. This transparent approach ensures that every campaign delivers both value and measurable success.
